Changes to Instagram and Facebook
Miracle weight loss ads are going to be banned from Instagram and Facebook.
If a post has an incentive to buy, or includes a price, it will be restricted to users under 18.
Content will also be removed if it makes a miraculous claim.
In a statement, Instagram says:
"Our advertising policies have never allowed for the promotion of these products and now we are taking an extra step to address the growing trend of influencer marketing and organic content."
Users will also see an additional functionality to allow people to report a post within the app if they believe it violates this policy.
